“I’d love to do one more Olympics, but I don’t want to go and just get another tracksuit,” Thomas told the Guardian in an interview published on Sunday. Thomas also weighed in on rider safety, which has become a talking point in the sport after a crash involving two-times Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel among others brought fresh scrutiny on cycling’s governing bodies.
“Racing’s got that danger element already, but I feel like it could do so much more to increase safety. There’s road furniture, traffic calming, curbs sticking out, all that kinds of stuff.
